Disciples Church Sermons

As Jesus sets His face towards Jerusalem, His disciples learn the costs and joys of following Him, from rejection to the deep joy of belonging to God’s kingdom.

True greatness in the kingdom of God is revealed through humility and service, a lesson taught amidst the awe of divine miracles.

As the disciples become convinced that Jesus is the real deal, He starts preparing them for His crucifixion and resurrection.

The earthly ministry of Jesus has gone from local phenomena to front page news. He sends out the twelve disciples on their first mission trip, and He feeds more than 5,000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fish.

People are healed off life-long infirmities, demons are cast out, even the winds and waves obey Him. Who is this man?

From the teaching and example of Jesus we know that our priority should be the proclamation of the Good News of Jesus. But not all will believe. And even many who begin the journey of faith will fall away.

Much is made of the men who followed Jesus, but His ministry and His entourage also included many faithful women.

Like many people, John the Baptist expected immediate revolution. But this didn't seem to be happening, as Jesus shied away from any and all attempts to be crowned King. And so John needed to be assured that Jesus really was the promised Messiah. Maybe you need that assurance too?

During His three years of public ministry, Jesus performed miracles that proved His divinity, and also gave people a taste of what Heaven will be like - no more sickness, no more curse, no more death. Imagine a world where everything that is wrong with this world is put right. That's the place Jesus is preparing for His people.

Jesus continues one of His most well-known sermons by developing further His vision of what the Christian life should look like in the here and now. If we call Jesus "Lord" then that should mean we do life differently. And not just in compliant behaviour, but in a radical change of heart.

Jesus knew what the road ahead would hold for His followers. And par for the course would be opposition. And so in the first half of Luke's recording of the Beatitudes, our Lord focusses on handling persecution, but also in demonstrating love even to enemies. It's a serious and profoundly challenging call that pushes against our natural thinking, and finds us in desperate need of the Holy Spirit's...

Jesus chose twelve men to become Apostles, even knowing that one would betray Him. They didn't come with particularly impressive resumes, but God used them to change the world. And the effect of their ministry continues today.

Gratitude is one of life’s simplest yet most profound actions. In this beautiful hymn, we are called to give thanks because of the goodness of God and His unfailing covenant love. Jesus - the promised Messiah - comes “in the name of the LORD” to save his people. Though rejected by the world, he has now become the cornerstone of our faith. In Him, we have a victorious hope and a bright future. Psal...

Jesus had a whole new way of looking at things. Instead of being a slave to the law, He reflected grace and mercy in everything He did and said.

The men Jesus chose to become His ministry apprentices were not from the religious elite. He called ordinary men to follow Him, and they changed the world.

People came from all over the region for the miracles, but Jesus' purpose was to use these miracles to point to the Gospel that saves.

Adam Flynt, from the Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida USA, is the Vice President for Church Planting for the Acts 29 Church Planting Network. He will be in Australia and New Zealand over the next few weeks for Acts 29 meetings, and he has accepted an invitation to preach for us this Sunday. His doctoral thesis was on the leading of the Holy Spirit, and so that will be the topic of his s...

Jesus' frankness in His home town of Nazareth is rewarded with unbelief and anger. But Jesus knew the Gospel was intended for global reach, not simply local popularity.

The Devil uses all his wilds to get Jesus to sin, offering the Son of God the whole world if He would just worship him. Through it all, Jesus remains faithful, and gives us a lesson in resisting temptation.

The Baptism of Jesus marked the beginning of His public ministry. While this event unveiled His divinity, Luke also takes the opportunity to show the human ancestry of the Son of God.
